At the end of each fiscal year, the Receiver general of Canada publishes financial information in
the Public Accounts. The consolidated specified purpose accounts are particular categories of
revenues and expenses whereby legislation requires that revenues received for purposes specified
in the legislation be credited to these accounts and that related payments be charged to the
accounts. This dataset, based on the table in Section 4 of Volume I, presents (in dollars) a
summary of the balances and transactions of these accounts, in the manner required by
legislation. This non-official record of information comes from the Public Accounts of Canada.
You can find the official version for the most recent fiscal year on the Receiver General website
and that of Library and Archives for historical years.
